Hi Todd,

Not surprised at your success.

Your service and quality is the best in the industry.

Once you ride Proctor you can’t ride anything else.

Can’t decide what to get next the super Typhoon or the Rascal?

But the Monsta work so well in all conditions I want to get another one just for back up.

Took the Monsta out in some double overhead waves and it held good, better than the ghost and looser. No speed wabbles.

tempted to take it to Bali next time, but not until I get a back up in case it breaks.

Never thought it was possible for a board to work so well all conditions, Da Monsta is pretty much a one board quiver and it’s only a 5’6″ with shortboard dimensions.

Amazing! Can’t imagine what you can come up with next.

I took the pig out first and than the Monsta. It just blew the pig away.

I definitely can surf 6ft Bali with the Monsta

and it will be my everyday board from now on.

Just wanted to let you know I finally figured out the Monsta and it’s amazing!

This thing should have snapped more that once.

I would say it is almost indestructible…

me and that board were one from the first wave

Hey Todd. Thanks for the input. It really helped me. Here is what I’m thinking. I guess I should stay to the more specifically designed guns for the bigger stuff. Here’s my reasoning for saying that and what I’m trying to put together.

I have a 6’0″ El Pavote.

6’2″ G4E.

6’2″ SR-71.6’4″ Blackbird.

All by the way are out of this world.

I will never buy from anyone else,

you got me dialed in to a T.

So my El Pavote as I see it has my smaller wave base covered, the G4E and Blackbird has evrything above that , and the SR-71 is for the Bread and Butter.

By the way I was in Puerto with that board

and it was solid 8-10 ft and

me and that board were one from the first wave.

Please keep that one on file for sure.

Me and my wife travel frequently and I have family in Hawaii so I would like to have some boards built for over there and Indo.

Pretty much whereever we go I want to have something I can go to.That said, I think I have my shortboard side of it all complete for the most part. My Blackbird being 6’4″ is the biggest out of your boards. And going to different places especially Hawaii I am going to need bigger boards, Bottom Line.

So I will need an Ante Up

I’m thinking how Tamayo had his set up.

Size I will leave to you. I might even need two. One bigger than the other. Im thinking 6’7″ and one maybe 6’10″. I will need one for when Pipe starts showing its colors, here I’m thinking Pipecleaner, maybe 7’2″ish. And one for big sunset/Pipe for here I was leaning twards the West Peak, maybe 7’10″-8’4.

And finally the gnarly Big Daddy for Da Bay/Mavs…

here goes back to the one you have on your showroom wall, the 10’2″.If you think that particular board would suit me I forget the width and thickness of it but atleast 3 plus inches thick for sure. In otherwords I dont want to big of a gap in the size’s of boards I have. If the surfs there then I wanna be prepared and I wanna do it on one of your boards. I like what you stand for and I think your the best shaper around so thats where Im putting my money. And these boards, call me particular but I like my boards to be as strong as possible(Super Duty) if you will.

Boards arent cheap and I want not only longevity with them but durability. Albeit I understand if I put it in the wrong place that not even triple 6oz. e glass will hold it intact. But you get where Im coming from.So In a nutshell that is what I’m looking to accomplish with the remainder of my quiver. Tell me what you think and I hope that helps you into understanding what Im trying to do. All in all I just want the board I need for when the time arises to be there in my quest for the ultimate ride. So we could even try out like SR-71/AnteUp or things like that. Or even take from what you have done with the Monsta(Lower entry and increased numbers off the tail) into all of them. Anyway dont wanna take anymorer of your time but let me know whaen you get around to it. Have a blessed day.

With all the speed of the Greased Pig I am starting to pull air

Hi Todd,

This is Mark from Taiwan. Got the proxy Greased Pig in June, but we had the longest flat spell ever until last week we had some shoulder to head high Typhoon waves.

As usual the board works insane

and you got the volume just right,

It’s even faster and fits tighter in the pocket than my PU Greased Pig. Thanks for another great board and my surfing is improving everyday.

I thought surfing would just go down hill after 40.

With all the speed of the Greased Pig

I am starting to pull air

on a regular basis and it’s only a matter of time before I land them.

I saw your new creation The Monsta and the board looks and sounds insane. My friend Mao Mao wrote to you to compare the Monsta with the Greased Pig, which is what I recommended him to get.

You said it’s faster, catches waves easier, fits in the pocket better and can surf bigger and smaller waves than the Greased Pig.

Sounds too good to be true! I have to get one!

What dimensions would you recommend for me in proxy? Would the Monsta work in Bali reef breaks?

Hope all is well,

I can’t wait to pop a few jollies on it when I get to BALI.

Hey Todd
Had a great trip in Bali, I hit the reef but protected my boards at all costs.
Just wanted to drop a note to you and thanks for the great boards,

this board the g4e works great in the small and medium stuff.

It turns on a dime and picks up speed instantly.

My latest SR71 is insane, I road it on the overhead plus days and it held really well,

again the main focus of my boards is that they have all

maintained speed thru turns and the flat sections.

I am really stoked on all my boards and will be in soon to order up another.

Stoked on your website, great job!

Just wanted to forward a few pics of the Rascal in Indo

Hi Todd,

Hope all is well.

Just wanted to forward a few pics of the Rascal in Indo.

These were actually taken last year but just got them on the last trip.

The Rascal II is going great by the way!

Didn’t ride it too much on the most recent trip because the waves were pumping most of the time.

I let a few of the other guys ride it and they had a blast!

Thanks for everything and I’ll see you at Pitas this winter for sure (fingers crossed)!

Take Care,

Hello Charissa,

Sadly, the weather was bad when the waves were pumping so photos were hard to get with rain and squall pelting down making it hard to get cameras out. Attached is a photo of me on the Rascal II.

It was a small day but I managed to rip the back out of this one.

Please share my thanks with Todd.

Hi Charissa,

Sorry it’s taken so long to get back to you.

I was in Indonesia riding my boards at

various breaks in the Mentawais.

Me and the Chief spent plenty of time in the shade. Shacked!

The speed and holding line of the board was perfect.

Please pass on my thanks to Todd, again.

Best regards,
